NYC-

We got to spend the last 2 days in one of my favorite places in the world. NEW YORK CITY!

When we got there on monday morning we had what we call a “press day.” We went into the city and visited our friends at AOL and J-14 Magazine doing acoustic performances, interviews and we even did a photo shoot. Thanks again to them for having us! Then when we got back to the hotel we all realized that warped tour had the day off in the same area and Never Shout Never, Hey Monday, We The Kings and All American Rejects were staying at our hotel too! So I went out with my good friends Jersey, Mike and Alex from Hey Monday for drinks at Chili’s and talked about band stuff, warped tour, girls and just life in general. It was awesome.

The next day we had our show at The Gramercy in Manhattan. The show went really well and it’s always fun to play here because not only do NYC crowds rule but 2 of our managers, our lawyer AND our business manager are all based out of NYC so we get to hang out with them too! The best thing about The Gramercy is that there is a chipotle and a frozen yogurt place right next to the venue. WOO! I even got to see my friend Mandy that I went to high school with that I never get to see anymore. Overall, it was an awesome show.

After the show we hosted an after party with Every Avenue at a bar called Angels & Kings. We are really good friends with everyone there and always do get togethers at the bar after our NYC shows. Everyone in There For Tomorrow and Secret Handshake came out as well so it was a total tour bro-down. Our good friend Alex Suarez from Cobra Starship came to hang out with us there too! It’s always so awesome to meet up with friends you meet on the road when you haven’t seen them in awhile and talk about what’s new. My friend Rob Hitt DJed the party as well and he always has the best music selection.

Overall, NYC rules and this week for the first time I was thinking “man…. I kind of wish that I could live here!” Maybe someday I will….
